The sky was dark and drizzle fell.
The members of the lion group each performed their own duties and did their own thing, and did not get lazy because of the weather.
The Kino brothers who wanted to be lazy were also kicked out by the Zierra sisters and braved the rain to mark their territory.
As the king of the lions, Chu Xiaoye should have been lying leisurely in the bushes to take shelter from the rain, boringly thinking about this damn lion life, eating and waiting to die.
However, he was not idle.
Together with Catherine, he folded branches in the bush and then transported them to the strongest baobab tree to prepare for the construction of the lion's nest.
For lions, it is too difficult to build a hut, so they can only settle for the next best thing and build a storage room like before.
This time, you can build it a little bigger, put some large leaves on it, and cover it with thick animal fur, so that it can become a sheltered, dry and warm nest.
Sister Belita also came to help at Blue's request.
When the little girl woke up, it was already noon.
The rain from the sky was still pouring down, showing no signs of stopping.
Chu Xiaoye stood on the baobab tree and looked at the river outside the bush with some worry. If the rain kept falling, it would definitely be like before, with the river rising and spreading ashore, flooding the bush.
When the time comes, they will have to move again.
The lionesses came back with their prey. There were five gazelles in total, one of which was a calf, and they all died.
Zamao and Blue Eyes can hunt by themselves, and their hunting skills are much better than that of the lioness, so they do not need to eat the prey brought back by the lioness. Otherwise, with their terrifying food intake, even if these gazelles are smaller in size, It’s big and definitely not enough to eat.
Chu Xiaoye shared one alone.
Others are freely allocated.
Tilis has been sleeping a lot these days, sleeping at night and during the day. Even delicious food cannot tempt her. She doesn't know if she is really tired or just too lazy to move.
Catherine tore off one of the gazelle's legs, carried it to a tree, and hung it in front of her.
She just opened her eyes to look, closed her eyes again, and continued to sleep.
Chu Xiaoye specially kept the little gazelle. After eating, he walked to the little gazelle, carefully tore off its fur with sharp golden claws, and then washed the fur in the puddle. , hung on the tree.
The drenching drizzle continued to wash away the smell and remaining blood stains on it.
Although the gazelle's hair is short, it is very soft and warm, and can effectively insulate the cold air blowing from the sea.
Although this fur belongs to a small gazelle, the small gazelle here is not small. It is much larger than the little girl's body. If it is worn on the body, it can just wrap the little girl's entire body.
When peeling the skin, Chu Xiaoye made a horizontal incision on his neck and a vertical incision on his abdomen. He carefully peeled it off bit by bit, and also removed the fur on the two hind legs, thus making the skin A piece of gazelle skin looks like a slim-fitting long and wide leather jacket.
There are hats, tops, and even the lower body can be covered.
Still, a pair of pants is needed.
Chu Xiaoye peeled off the fur from the hind body of another adult gazelle, along with the fur from the two hind legs, and then trimmed it into a pair of tight trousers according to the little girl's body shape.
The little girl's slender legs could just fit into the fur of two deer legs.
There are trousers, a leather jacket, and a pair of waterproof boots.
But the gazelle's hooves were not suitable.
Therefore, making boots can only be postponed.
After Chu Xiaoye trimmed these things with her claws and teeth, she washed them again and hung them on the tree to let the rain continue to wash away.
He was so busy making these strange things that even Catherine didn't know what he was doing.
When Little Juanwei and Meimei came back, they were very curious about these little things and wanted to pick them up and play with them, but they were slapped so mercilessly by Chu Xiaoye that they burst into tears.
Chu Xiaoye asked them to pick pliable branches and bring them to make a nest.
It’s pretty much the same as when I made the storage room, but this time, the space needs to be larger, and some rainproof furs and leaves need to be put on top. The sides and bottom should also be wrapped with animal skins to resist the cold wind.
Little Juanwei, Meimei, and Jasmine helped deliver the materials.
Chu Xiaoye and Catherine were busy building on the tree.
A day passes in a blink of an eye.
The little girl had already woken up at noon, but she had been following the pair of cute bears, looking for something to eat in the bushes.
She felt that she should look for food independently instead of always waiting for the lions to share. In that case, she would be very guilty and feel useless.
Even if the king doesn't say anything, other members of the lion pride may have ideas in their hearts.
The pride of lions will not raise a little waste for nothing.
The cute bear mother and her son are omnivores and will eat whatever they encounter along the way, including flowers, plant roots, small insects, and even some small animals. The little girl doesn't know how to eat these.
Until I walked into a fruit forest and saw a few golden fruits dropped from the trees.
The little girl ate it in her mouth, it was sour and sweet, and she was very happy.
She raised her head and thanked Sister Belita on the tree, saying strange words, waving her little hands, and smiling with bright eyes and white teeth.
Sisters Belita and Belia also imitated her and grinned, but they looked a little hideous and ugly.
The rain kept falling.
After the little girl ate a few fruits, although she had some food in her belly, she felt even colder.
She regretted very much that she had thrown away the thick fur on the road, but if she had not thrown it away at that time, she might have fallen behind.
The rain is cold and the wind is freezing.
The little girl was shivering, with her bare white and delicate feet, she got into a bush with lush leaves. Her clothes were soaked through, and her golden hair was dripping wet with rainwater.
It's getting dark.
She huddled up, hugging her knees, squatting inside, staring blankly at the continuous rain outside through the gaps in the bushes.
Perhaps she recalled the scene of her standing in front of the window at home when it rained, enjoying the heating and delicious food, looking at the rain outside the window, talking excitedly to her parents, and a hint of smile could not help but appear on her childish little face. Happy smile.
After dark, the temperature suddenly dropped even lower.
The cute bear mother and her son have gone to who knows where.
The little girl's lips turned black and she shrank into a ball from the cold. Her thin and soaked white dress stuck to her skin, giving her even more chills.
Suddenly, the bushes nearby moved, and a terrifying face and a lion's head with a scarf poked in, looking at her brightly.
There was a smile on the little girl's face, and she used her small hands to smooth the golden hair stuck to her face. Her petite body trembled, and she said sweetly: "You are here."
Chu Xiaoye stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly got in, lay beside her, put his paws around her body, and let her nestle into his arms and thick mane.
The little girl's cheek was buried in his increasingly lush mane, and she finally felt a touch of warmth.
Outside the bushes, the rain is still falling, dripping and dripping, intruding into the dream.
The little girl fell asleep quickly, with the corners of her mouth slightly curved and pressed against his body, as if she had had a beautiful dream.
Katherine was soaked in the rain, squatting under the big tree outside, guarding silently.
